How can a tutor assist you in conquering Anatomy?

Anatomy is a subdivision of biology that deals with the structure of living beings. The subject of human anatomy gives students an improved understanding of the systems that make the body work. However, these systems may seem overwhelmingly complex and may leave you baffled as to how they work and relate to each other.

If you are running into difficulties in your anatomy classes, call the Albany offices of Varsity Tutors. You may contact our educational directors in Albany today to find an anatomy tutor to try to help you address all of your problem areas. We may connect you with a tutor who may guide you through these complicated systems and give you a better understanding of the body's structures.

At Varsity Tutors, we may connect you with a tutor who has extensive experience in teaching anatomy. These tutors often have years of experience in teaching students basic anatomical principles, such as the different systems that regulate bodily functions, as well as the vocabulary that describes these functions. Our educational directors may find you a professional anatomy tutor in Albany, NY, whose primary aim is to try to help you potentially ace the course.

While you may believe that your struggles come from the complexity of the material, the manner in which anatomy is presented in the classroom may also be a factor. Monotonous lectures, hyper-technical texts, and stylized diagrams may leave you feeling confused and frustrated. A private tutor may assess your needs, break down the complexity of the material, and give you the confidence you need to pass your class.

You may also be among the anatomy students who are pursuing an advanced degree. Whether you are considering nursing school, medical school, or graduate studies in biology, you may be faced with some stringent entrance requirements, including standardized tests. All of the tutors that Varsity Tutors may connect you with in Albany, NY, are skilled in teaching anatomy and may guide you through these difficult exams.

As an anatomy student, you may have an extremely busy schedule. If so, you may arrange to meet your tutor at a time and location that's convenient for you. You may also ask about Varsity Tutors' online live interactive learning platform, in which you may have live lessons with your tutor through a video conferencing system.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★★★★★

"The student and I continued to review for her Anatomy and Physiology exam and switched gears today to focus on the lymphatic system. This is an expansive topic, and I can understand why she would feel overwhelmed. As with our last session, we worked based off of her PowerPoint slides and discussed which concepts were important. We also answered any questions she had about the given slide. Some slides we were able to make our way through quite quickly. Other concepts were more challenging (such as the relationship between absorption of interstitial fluid and immune surveillance), so we spent a longer time exploring those relationships. We will continue our review at the next session. I have also encouraged her to contact me over the weekend if she has any pressing questions!"

★★★★★

"This was the last week of the student's Anatomy and Physiology course. We worked on understanding concepts regarding the endocrine system, with specific regard to the hypothalamus gland and thyroid stimulating hormone.
The student had difficulty understanding the feedback mechanisms associated with the endocrine system of the human body, and these were covered, reviewed, and reiterated in detail to strengthen the foundation of these basic biological concepts.
The student had an overall positive attitude towards learning the concepts, and she seemed to want to focus more on grasping the ideas to increase her knowledge of the human body.
We worked through much of her online lab assignments as a way to apply the concepts we reviewed.
This was the final portion of her course; she is on Week 7/7 and is submitting her final papers for this course, marking the end of this subject.
She mentioned to me today that, since we began our sessions, her grades have markedly increased from a C+ to the B+ region. If she does well on her upcoming final exam, she is on par to receive an A- or A for this course. Great news!
This session was overall a win; the student demonstrated in depth understanding of these core concepts, and is continually working to use and apply them to reinforce the academic foundation in Anatomy and Physiology that we've built. "

★★★★★

"We covered the bones of the arm, hand, and wrist; the muscles of the trunk, arm, back, chest, neck, face, and upper/ lower leg. Strategies that we used include mnemonic devices for the carpal bones. The student initially struggled with the muscles in terms of their origins and insertions, but quickly developed ease with the material. I recommended making notecards to help memorize muscle origin, insertion, and action."

★★★★★

"We reviewed meiosis I and II again today. We then covered chapter 4 on types of tissue. I covered different types of tissue, where each type is found, types of junctions between cells, differences between smooth/ cardiac/ skeletal cells, compact vs spongy bone, etc. I gave physiological examples and analogies that made concepts easier to understand. The student was able to summarize most topics and only needed reinforcement with exocrine vs endocrine glands and secretions. She will be taking her test either on Friday or Saturday. "

★★★★★

"We discussed fluid compartments, osmolarity, electrolyte balance, and fluid dynamics across the capillary wall; action potentials and transmission at the synapse. The student is definitely more confident about what he is studying. Next session we plan to cover electrophysiology of the heart."

★★★★★

"The concepts we went over today were: nervous systemp (parasympathetic versus sympathetic), P-wave, QRS complex, T-wave, pacemaker and ventricular action potentials, and anatomy of coronary arteries and veins
. The student's attitude was fantastic. She learned about translating electrical events into mechanical events. and we discussed her weekly quizzes.
"

★★★★★

"The student and I discussed chemical reactions, Krebs cycle, macromolecules and their components, and terminology."

★★★★★

"The student had a test this week and needed a general review of everything. We went over anatomical position and terminology, quadrants of the abdomen, parts of the cell, chemistry, and mitosis. She was very eager to learn not just for the test, but in general. She was trying to learn the material and not simply memorize it. I suggested some mnemonics she can use to help memorize some things, some YouTube videos, and notes that helped me learn mitosis and meiosis. Overall, a good first session. She was a diligent listener and took notes to help her remember the concepts."

★★★★★

"We reviewed a study guide for Chapter 4- Skin and skin conditions. The student was able to grasp all the concepts on the study guide as well make her own outline of notes. By verbally quizzing her, she was able to clearly and quickly answer questions about the layer of the skin, burns, and skin cancers. She will review her notes on Tuesday to prepare for her Wednesday exam. "

★★★★★

"The student was struggling more with the volume of content that was to be presented on her test vs the material itself. We reviewed several chapters and talked through concepts and various anatomical features of the body, mainly focused on bones. We also chatted about the different types of learning and ways to study. "

★★★★★

"The student is a nursing student who is having trouble with her anatomy course. She is a promising young student who is eager to learn and wants to master the material so she may continue her education to become a nurse.
As this was our first session, we spoke about her previous grades in the class and her current and previous strategies to learn the material. As she is trying to discover which learning style best suits her, I encouraged her throughout our session to notify me if a certain method was not working or if one strategy was more helpful than others.
As her exam on Monday is covering muscles, we then proceeded to do a quick overview of muscles of the chest and back to orient her to the general anatomy. We then began to cover muscles in the chest, back, and arms, focusing on the origin, insertion, and function of the muscles. During our session we utilized her class PowerPoints, lab and lecture texts, and additional study materials. Additionally, we reviewed anatomical terms of movements.
I left her with notes from the session and later that day sent a follow up email with a link to a video further describing anatomical terms of movements. "

★★★★★

"The student and I discussed her first test, on which she did better than the class average. Also to note, she took advantage of her professor's offer to regain 5% of her test grade through self-correction and discussing study methods. This shows her tremendous initiative and drive to succeed in the class. She shows great interest, but needs more efficient ways to study. I have her drawing figures from her book in simplified manners that allow us to effectively piece together more complex diagrams to reinforce concepts rather than have her memorize things. This will let her more easily apply the concepts she will need to master to succeed in the class. We spent some time discussing better ways to take notes, and refreshed what she had written on the topic of neuron structure and function. I emailed her a link to a science book publisher's website that offers free multiple choice quizzes to accompany each chapter in her textbook. I would encourage her to ask me as many questions as she possibly can during the week when we don't meet, as she seems to have a lot of questions when we do meet each Thursday."
